Annual Recurring Revenue

(ARR)

Definition

Your total annualised recurring revenue. For most SaaS companies: ARR = MRR × 12. The primary valuation metric for growth-stage companies. Does not include one-time or variable revenue.

Why founders care

Indian VCs typically value early-stage SaaS at 5–15× ARR. Knowing your ARR is non-negotiable before any funding conversation.
